Note: MAP3BSPC is not intended for use with Quake 3. If you want to make levels
for Quake 3, use the tools provided by Id software. MAP3BSPC doesn't produce
fully compliant .bsp-files, and may never do. The aim is at the moment to
generate enough correct information into the BSP file so that 3rd party Quake 3
renderers can reproduce the level correctly. It may be that the files will
work with Quake 3 or they may not.

Id Software has nothing to do with this product. Do not contact them regarding
MAP3BSPC. Instead if you have questions, problems a bug to report or what ever,
see the contact information later in this file.

version 0.3 was released on 12.9.2003.
version 0.2 was released on 1.8.2003.
version 0.1 was released on 21.6.2003.

See the changelogs for more details

At the moment binaries are only provided for Windows. All others should download the source release
and compile the binary themselves. A makefile for the GNU family of tools is provided,
as well as for Microsotf Visual C++.

Precompiled binaries for win32 (MSVC) are provided in the w32libs directory. If you
don't wish to recompile all the libraries just copy these somewhere in your library path.

Compiling MAP3BSPC should be simple: Just uncompress the sorces to a directory of your choosing,
and run make. This will automatically build the executable called map3bspc.exe.
Configuration files for automake are not provided at the moment, So you'll
need to manually modify the makefile to suit your system. If you would like to
contribute, contact the project team.
The program is written in standard C++ so it should compile with little
difficulty on most systems. So far MAP3BSPC has been successfully compiled under
w2k, WXP and Linux. Compiling under windows you may need some unix tool package,
such as UnxUtils.
Some tricks had to be done with for loop counter variables to get the code to
compile in MS Visual C 6.0, because it handles the scope of the for counter variable scope wrong.
Also MinGW systems may not be able to compile MAP3BSPC since ZipArchive seems to contain
nonstandard code.
